From Civil Rights to Carnival: The Anthropology of Public Space in Belfast
Bryan, Dominic
From Civil Rights to Carnival: The Anthropology of Public Space in Belfast - 2011.
79
This paper explores one of the defining aspects of politics and identity in Northern Ireland : the control and utilisation of public space, particularly urban public space. I will examine evidence of some changes in the way public space is being used in central Belfast that potentially reflects changing identities in the city. The paper concludes by speculating on whether a new civic identity that spans the political and ethnic divisions has started to develop in Belfast and that this might evolve even with increased residential division throughout the Belfast urban area.
